WASHINGTON, Sept. 5.-The Inter
national Medical Congress met in
Washington City in.Albaugh's Opera
House. The attendance was im-
Inense.
President Cleveland, Secretary
Bayard and Speaker Carlisle were
present and were escorted to seats
on the stage By DR.. Warrett.
Prof. Henry M. Smith, of Phila :
delphia, called the organization to
order, and on his motion the Presi-
dent of the United States consented
to open the convention for organi-
zation. The President gracefully
entered upon his duty, which he
said was as simple as it was pleas
ing. It was simply to declare the
Ninth International Medical Con-
gress was open for organization and
the transaction of business.
Secretary Bayard then followed
with expressions of qualification
that Washington City had been se-
lected as the place of meeting of so
eminent body, and then elabo-
rated a very able and eloquent adj
dress to the assembled delegates.
The Chairman of the Executive
Committee then proceeded to nomi-
nate the gentlemen agreed upon by
the Committee to be officers of the
Congress
For the high Office of President of
the Congress, he said the Com
nittee unanimously nominate to
you one widely known as scientific
practitioner, able lecturer and
medical author, Dr. Nathan Smith
Davis, of Chicago.
Cr. Davis having been unani-
mously elected by acclamation, the
Chairman appointed DR.. Frances
Durantly, of Italy and Deputy Sur
geon Gen. Jeffrey A. Marston, of
H. B. NJ Army, the Committee to
escort him to the chair. d..
John B. Hamilton, Supervising Sur
geon General of the United States,

been nominated and unanimously
elected Secretary General of the
Congress took his place and nomi-
mated the gentlemen agreed upon
as vice presidents of the congress,
who were elected. The list contains
hundred or more names The
only Americans in the list are ex-
presidents of the American Medical
Association and the surgeon gener-
ais of the army and navy. The
foreigners on the list include all

The president of the congress put the

The PURCHASE OF THE MILITARY AcAD-

THE PURCHASE OF THE MILITARY AcAD-
ENVY
For the purposes of the Graded Schoo
is transaction of which we as we'll az
other judieious citizens will highly ap.
prove. "A place respectable and ample
for its purposes is provided without the
alternative resort to hedge-lows.
But 1t was not our purpose SO much to
speak of the purchase as to speak of the
publicity given to the transaction in the
columns of the Aduance; not by way of
complaint, but of explanation. We were
In possession of the facts o. Thursday
last. Aslate as half past sl1. O'Clock Sat
urday evening we were accosted by a
principal party to the transaction with
the information that the affair was prob
ably consummated.b but with the renewed
request that We would not give it to the
public until authorized to do so. OF
course we said nothing abOutit.
After the above was written, Prof.
Venable addressed lis the following
note:
Coz. Cameron:
DEAR SIR:-On Saturday evening last,
feeling assured that the sale of the Ashe-
vile Military Academy to the commit
tee of the Graded School would be per-
tected, and fearing premature publicity,
l requested You not to say anything
about the matter in your paper. Just at
the opening of my schuol, it was de'i-
cate matter, as it might misIead the pub
lie in regard to our intentions We, the
owners of the A. NJ. Academy, return
thanks for your compliance with my re-
9uest-and ask of 'on now to give tie
the public the proper view of the matter
as personally explained to you.
Very truly yours,
ST. VENARLE.
Oar response to the aboYe will be very
brief We understood, in listening to
the proposition to purchase his lease of
the Academy buildings, which was for a
term of ninety-nine years, that Prof.
Venable believed that his assent to the
proposition would be in Difference to the
original liberal sentiment which provid-
ed the grounds and buildings for the ed
ucation of the youth of Asheyille. With
the growth of the place. the number to
be provided for had greatly increased,
and Prof V. was ready to yield to this
public need with readiness. He did so,
after arrangements had been perfected
which would secure MIN not only against
present losses, but would give him time
to prepare, before the Academy proper
was turned over TO the uses ofthe Graded
School, for the continuation of his own
Institution in buildings yet to be erected.
His reasons for avoiding prematurity in
the publicity of the transaction was the
possibility of injury to his private inter-
ests by the apparent immediate transferI
of the present Academy to other hands,
before he was prepared to continue It'll
elsewhere and IN continuity. Until all
were perfected it was not
prudent to suggest the idea of. even a
temporary suspension of his present
work.
Since the transaction is now public, it
is as well to say that there will be no in
terruption, in the present locality. of the
exercises of the Academy, the Graded
School authorities stipulating for Prof.
Venable's possession of the Academy
until his school buildings on his own
premises are finished.

Maine Savings Banks.

We publish this morning very large part
of the report of the Hon. Fred Z. Richards,
the efficient bank examiner, relative to the
condition and management of our savings
banks and those other useful institutions
that are sprlnging up in this State-building
loan associations. The great majority of the
people are vitality interested in our savings
institutions because to them they trust the
care and investment Of their savings, and
their condition therefore is matter of gen.
eral interest.
A perusal of the report will show that
nothing has occurred the past year to shake
the confidence of the people In the sound
ness Of these institutions. The number Of
depositors has increased by nearly 5000 and
the amount of deposits by more than mil
lion and half dollars-facts that indicate
that the people are satisfied with their man
agement and that the worklngmen and wom-
en- of Maine who constitute the great MAORI
ty of the patrons of these institutions have
enjoyed year of prosperity.
An interesting and valuable portion of Mr..
Richards report is the chapter on building
loan associations, institutions which are lit
tie understood by the general public, and
concerning which there is constant inquiry.
When the conditions are favorable and an
der proper management, these institutions
may be of great benefit, but they are adapt
ed only to certain localities and the reckless
creation of them where the conditions ON
which their success depends are absent will
be productive of more harm than good.
Careful study should be made, therefore, be-
fore forming one of these associations, to
see If the conditions on which success de-
ponds exist. What Ethose conditions are is
clearly set forth.by the Examiner
